Failure to pay by the person who is liableU.K.
2.—(1) A claimant is to be treated as liable to make payments where all of the conditions specified in sub-paragraph (2) are met.
(2) These are the conditions—
(a)the person who is liable to make the payments is not doing so;
(b)the claimant has to make the payments in order to continue occupation of the accommodation;
(c)the claimant's circumstances are such that it would be unreasonable to expect them to make other arrangements;
(d)it is otherwise reasonable in all the circumstances to treat the claimant as liable to make the payments.
(3) In determining what is reasonable for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(d) in the case of owner-occupier payments, regard may be had to the fact that continuing to make the payments may benefit the person with the liability to make the payments.
